Avelacom, a global provider of ultra-low latency network and infrastructure solutions, has launched a new hybrid (fiber and microwave) route between Amsterdam and Tokyo, delivering less than 127 milliseconds (ms) round-trip latency. This sets a new latency benchmark for connectivity between Amsterdam and Asia’s digital asset markets.

The new route extends Avelacom’s portfolio of proprietary hybrid connectivity solutions between Europe and Asia, complementing existing ultra-low latency routes from London and Frankfurt to major Asian markets, including Tokyo, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. The Amsterdam <> Tokyo route supports latency-sensitive digital asset trading, where network performance directly impacts execution and P&L.

Amsterdam is becoming a key connectivity point for digital asset trading, providing access to venues such as BtcTurk, while connectivity to Tokyo enables proximity to global price discovery on Binance and other major liquidity centres. At the same time, Amsterdam is evolving into a hub for on-chain infrastructure, with a growing concentration of validator nodes supporting decentralized networks. This convergence is increasing demand for low latency connectivity between Amsterdam and Asia.

The new route leverages Avelacom’s existing Points of Presence and expands its microwave network footprint, integrating additional microwave segments into its hybrid architecture to optimize latency across this long-distance path.

Aleksey Larichev, CEO of Avelacom, comments: “We continue to expand our hybrid network portfolio in line with evolving trading requirements across global markets. Amsterdam is becoming a key hub for digital assets, and this route is designed to support institutional clients requiring the lowest possible latency between Europe and Asia. For latency-sensitive strategies, network performance is a core component of trading infrastructure and has a direct impact on P&L. This route is built to deliver a measurable advantage.
